I live in AL.I consider Louisiana,Mississippi,Georgia,and Alabama the "Deep South".

I'll defer to others on whether Arkansas is included.

I'd take out Arkanasas (close though), add Georgia and South Carolina.

Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina in their own group but not "deep south".

There's more plantations and just as much Ag in south LA as in North LA

Eastern Arkansas, sw Tennessee, and SC should be included in the Deep South

Probably but culturally south of the I-10 / I-12 corridor is considerably different than what ppl call the deep south ( Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia ).

IMO, Louisiana does not culturally fit the Deep South.
NW LA has greater similarities to E. TX.
S. LA and NOLA have there own identities.
NE. LA tends to be more S. AR/E. MS and is the most Deep South in LA.
The Deep South should be SC, GA, AL, MS. I'd consider NC, TN, AR and LA as peripheral states today.

This is the correct answer. LA, MS, AL, GA, and SC.

I always laugh when people leave South Carolina off a "deep south" list.

Deep South = high pop of "Joe Dirt" type of rednecks who love Jeff Foxworthy

S. LA (South of I-10) has a diff species of redneck endearingly termed "Coons"

It says all or parts of those bordering states. Texas certainly qualifies as all.

Unquestionably.

As is Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and parts of South Carolina and Florida.
